Download the following in Internet Explorer (not Microsoft Edge). Edge has been giving me incomplete downloads with some of the Dell drivers resulting in similar errors.

Thank you Philip for your help.

Only first 4 drivers are working correctly other drivers (Realtek Audio, Realtek Ethernet, Intel 3160, Intel BT, Dell Touchpad Driver) are still giving the same error.

Actually problem is in extraction process these drivers are not correctly compressed in .EXE format.

What file sizes are all your downloads?

My software updater is broken, too.

Will these downloads work with a dell laptop that was not tested for windows 10?

When upgrading to W10, I lost BT and stable printer (HP L7780 AIO) capabilities... cannot install any drivers or remove old printer software; BT icon doesn't even show up in device manager list or in "settings" and the switch is greyed out under the airport mode page of "settings".

I really need a solution to these problems.  I never thought dell would abandon its customers... [:'(]

Thx a lot!!!!!

Ran into the same problem with Win7 & Win 10 Pro on Dell laptops. I copied the files off my USB thumb drive to the desktop and ran the various driver updates.  On both OS platforms the drivers installed without further issue.  Don't know why this issue is happening but it seems to correlate with the most recent Dell driver updates. (End of 2016 - Early 2017)   Hope this helps.

Hi, I use Windows 10 and get the same issue.

I found solution: copy the file on your desktop and retry --> it's ok --> like a funny trick (???)

I think this is because Windows block .exe file from running on non-system drive.

TO: Dell support: pls fix!

I'm using Windows 10 Pro on my Dell Inspiron 15- 3542. My wireless driver gets disabled randomly. Now, I'm trying to install Dell update package for Wireless driver but it shows " The update installer operation is unsuccessful."

Help me!!!

Old versions of windows 10 are now end of life.

The update installer operation is unsuccessful.

means that the driver is not certified to run on the current 1909 version of windows and possibly never was.

Older versions of wifi and USB3 and INTEL Graphics WILL NOT INSTALL.

Make sure there are no spaces in the file path. Any folder or file name with spaces in it can cause some programs and installers to malfunction.
